Yesterday was bittersweet for me. I said goodbye to my Mustang. It was time. As some blog readers will know, I bought it new in late 2018 when we were living in Florida. I told Terry at the time that it was not going to be an everyday driver, and somebody asked me then why […]

Our son Travis and I knew that cleaning all the debris out from tearing the extra room down in the barn was going to be a dirty job, and we were right. But as Larry the Cable Guy says, we Got-R-Done. But though it was a dirty job, it actually went easier than we expected. […]

I have received e-mails from not one, not two, but three different blog readers telling me that I have been taking some terrible risks lately and warning me of dire consequences I may not be aware of.
